Jon Searles' photos with the keyword: 401509-5

Well...here it is....my first public video on iPernity. Had Flickr's policies not driven me over here with so many other people, this would also go on Flickr, but instead this is an iPernity exclusive for now. I shot this video seconds before the photo I uploaded right before this.

I have a few ICE photos scattered throughout my photo collection, but only a few on Flickr. I took this one in Munchen Hbf as I was about to get on my train (which wasn't an ICE). #401509-5 is one of the original 401 Class ICE sets from the early 1990's, meaning it can cruise as fast as 280 Km/h (173 m.p.h.) given a dedicated high-speed line rated for 280. That's impressive enough to American ears, but the newer 403 Class can reach 330 Km/h (205 m.p.h.), so it isn't like progress stopped with the first sets, either.
